Learn the Ropes Drop-In Class
A Shibari Workshop Series

Playa del Carmen

Join us for a 4-week series where we learn the basics of Japanese rope bondage. Shibari may look simple but it is something that takes time to learn and practice. In this series we will learn the basic ties and build on them to create more complex and beautiful art pieces on the body. We provide a safe space, 2 hours of instruction, hands on assistance, a variety of rope to choose from and partners to practice on. Come with an open mind ready to learn. Leave your ego at the door. Let&#x27;s get playful! This class is designed for beginners and intermediate riggers. Instruction for both levels will be provided. To reserve your spot for the full 4-week series, purchase the Learn the Ropes Series Ticket for $60 USD. After April 28th, only the drop-in tickets will be available.

Workshops will be held at an outdoor venue close to 5th Playa Del Carmen. In case of rain we will move indoors. We start the workshop at 6-pm sharp with introductions and a talk on consent and safety. Instruction begins at 6:30. In each workshops we will learn a tie for beginners and a tie for intermediates. The first tie will be demonstrated on three volunteers with instructions so that all participants understand the steps. Students will then be given rope to practice the ties. During this time hands-on assistance will be available as needed. Intermediate learners who have attended previous classes will be given rope at the start of class and will be able to practice during the demonstration for beginners. At the half way point instruction for intermediate learners will begin. At the end of the series, all participants will be invited to join for a social where they can invite friends, show off their rope skills, enjoy snacks and drinks and have more time to practice, play and explore the possibilities with their newfound skills. Socials will be open only to students who have attended the workshops and their friends.
